Convert to Autocad or DWG or DXF
Hi all,
I'm trying to send my drawing to a structural engineer but he needs to import it to autocad to view it. How do I do convert the file for him to import?

Re: Convert to Autocad or DWG or DXF
Hi. I did. When I output to OBJ, I get many files including on OBJ and many PNG and jpg. I select the OBJ in Rea-converter and it converts. Then I open it with Autodesk DWG Truview, but it's a bunch of vector lines and not usable. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Convert to Autocad or DWG or DXF
This is a hugely serious problem for the program. So much better to have the necessary file conversions built in. Should have been some sort of open format. We waste a huge amount of time learning a new program and then creating a drawing no one can use. I'd be happy with a simple 2D file export in a usable format.

SH3D format is opened, not DWG or DXF formats which are proprietary file formats. Ask to Autodesk to support SH3D format, like some other editors did (like Live Home 3D). Meanwhile, don’t use Sweet Home 3D if it doesn’t fit your needs!
